A team from BBC South East has completed a long-distance walk across Kent and Sussex for Children in Need.

The Pudsey pier to pier challenge set off from Gravesend on Monday at the start of a 61-mile (98km) journey.

Passing through Mayfield and Heathfield, the walk followed the Cuckoo Trail before reaching its final destination of Eastbourne Pier.

The annual BBC One appeal show raised more than £35m.

The three-hour live TV special ended with the announcement that a whopping £35,273,167 had been given,
